SANTA ANA, Calif. — A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim didn't put up a fight during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen."
The California Commission on Judicial Performance issued a report Thursday saying Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson's comments were inappropriate and a breach of judicial ethics.
Johnson is a former prosecutor in the Orange County district attorney's sex crimes unit. He issued an apology saying he was frustrated with a prosecutor during an argument in 2008 over the sentencing in the case before him compared to other more aggravated cases.

Party affiliation?
Is that true in the case of prison rape too, judge, or just normal, every day rape...
The article doesn't mention it, so it could be either one.

Can’t find it. He won an uncontested election in Orange County.
Paging Todd Akin.
According to page 4 of this link, he was appointed to the bench in 2000 by Democrat Gray Davis.

There you go.... Democrat judge...
...Which means the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms will quickly brush the story aside.
I will tell you one way a body can stop a rapist: it uses the arm and hand part to pull out a firearm and shoot the bastard.
(And this judge sounds like an idiot.)
Well if the intended victim is bigger and stronger this might be true. As far as I know reading the article to this point, the judge was looking at a big strong girl and a little scrawny guy and wondering if the little scrawny guy could have overpowered her in that way. Sadly I would not put it past MSN to mangle the context...I will read on and see what they allow me to know...
Ok, that sounds like it was rape. However I will not condemn the judge until I know the full context of what he said. I don't trust MSN to infer it for me.
The article makes the judge sound like an idiot. However the article only quotes a snippet of what the judge says. Just for illustrating how they might have treated the judge unfairly in the article, lets say I want to make you sound like an idiot (for illustration only, not saying you are). I could write an article saying:
Nik Naym sparked stunned disbelief among many by declaring "a body can stop a rapist". He has yet to apologize for the incentive and outrageous remarks.
See how that works? I am NOT saying anything like that about you. This is an illustration of how despicably nasty the press can be if they want to slander somebody they don't like, and we do not know the whole story. We only know what little the reporter wanted us to know, and only with his spin.
Judge Johnson probably made his statement about "the body shutting down" when it "doesn't want" intercourse based on the quality (or lack thereof) of his marital relations to Mrs. Johnson.
Regards,
Maybe he’s thinking about his own body. When a man’s body doesn’t want to perform intercourse, it just kind of hangs there, like a partially-thawed piece of Italian sausage.
Good point and congrats are in order, for using the word, "infer" correctly.
It is my understanding that a healthy man can be stimulated into sexual function involuntarily....although it might be hard (punishment intended).
Ugh.
Here ya go. He’s a Democrat appointed by former Dem. guv Gray Davis, so of course none—and I mean none—of the regular press coverage mentions his party affiliation:
